I am a lady who suffers with depression badly and have problems with my weight. My depression and weight problems came about when i was a small girl. sadly i had a very dark upbringing, starved and locked in my room by my mother, only let out so i could be abused sexully by a grandparent. This impacted badly later on in my life. Not be able to cope with past issues , my children went to live with there dad. I worked hard to keep my mind busy but that did not help. because of being starved as a child i had food issues which led to myself gaining lots of weight. I had a long battle to loose this weight. now its 2018 and i have done it. 22st to 12st , my depression is still there but i am coping. next step in my recovery is to get excess skin removed , sadly i can not get help from the nhs. i have been saving and have amouted so far £2000. Saving is moving very slowly so a friend reccommend opening a funding page. so here i am and this is my story
